4th round for Hightower is probably the highest he has ever gone but I think he is this year's Arian Foster so I couldn't let him get away. Moreno falling makes up for it. I think my league hates Georgia.

Looking back, I'm thinking I may have taken Sanchez too early, but there was a huge run on QBs prior to my pick and I didn't want to lose out on a quality backup.

I already did it. It's not crazy at all. He's got the highest floor of any RB and he's least likely to get injured because he's built like a truck. And his ceiling is pretty high too, especially in a PPR league.

How you can say that he has the highest floor when Adrian Peterson has been a top 5 RB for the last 4 years is beyond me. Peterson's body of work speaks for itself. If you want to go safe at #1, its gotta be AD.

I don't disagree with Peterson #1. You are right. I just feel that his physique and running style make him more susceptible to injury than Rice. Which is probably a dumb thing to think. I also think the MIN OL blows and could see them struggling offensively.

EDIT: And ^ is all stupid. The main reason I went Rice #1 is because I expect these #s... 1300 yards rushing, 600 yards receiving, 65 catches, 15-18 total TDs. Look at how many TDs McGahee scored the past two years. Rice will get those now minus a few to Williams. I expect a healthy Peterson to go for about 1600 total yards, 40 catches, and the same amount of TDs.

I see the injury concern, but the guy has proven everyone wrong 4 years running now. At some point he gets the benefit of the doubt. For me, its gotta be AD or Foster at #1 in a standard league, but Rice should certainly be considered in PPR formats and I would take him at #3 in standard.

LOVE your RBs but there was no reason to take Brady in the 2nd. I would have much preferred Fitz/Sanchez than Brady/Sanchez. WTF.

EDIT: and taking a DEF in the 9th round in a draft in which a guy like Starks was still available in the 11th? A very noob move... come on.

Fitz as in Fitzpatrick?! Fitz is going to be absolutely horrendous this season.. I'm willing to put money on it.

And looking at the DEF thing... I may have been a little confident too confident in my RBs at that point. I also talked to quite a few of the other draftees who felt that Starks wasn't going to go til late, so I was holding out hope. Luckily, he was still there. Hopefully it pays off even more so if GB cuts Grant. Like you said, it was a noob move... but I took off from FF last year so I'm a little rusty ;)

am I crazy?

Not at all. If I had the #1 OVR pick, I'd take him as well. He's got a good team around him, and BAL likes to run the ball. There's just something about him this season and I have this feeling that he is going to absolutely dominate. Not to mention the added deep threat of Lee Evans. I know that it won't have a huge impact, but the threat of having a legitimate deep threat, along with a strong armed QB like Flacco has to at least keep the defense honest, and cause them to not stack 8 men in the box so frequently. Not to mention he's got the best run-blocking FB in the league in front of him, Vonta Leach. I remember reading an article about the effect Leach is supposed to have for Rice this year. If I find it I'll be sure to post it.

Im not usually one to jump on preseason bandwagons, but Antonio Brown of the Steelers would be a good free-agent pickup. Whoever wins the No3 WR for the Steelers will basically be the number 2 behind Mike Wallace (Hines Ward is past it). Emmanuel Sanders probably would have won it, but with his lingering injuries Brown has taken advantage. He would easily be your best backup/flex option.
